It is time to announce the winners of the Barcelona Photo Contest! For those of you who were unable to attend, conference attendees submitted some of their best photos to the contest for a chance to win one free conference pass to one of the global Open Group conference over the next year – a prize valued at more than $1,000/€900 value.

Barcelona is a city for architects. While it is most known for works by Gaudi, enterprise architects flooded the streets for the Open Group Conference in Barcelona…and took some amazing pictures. We had a record number of photo contest submissions that captured everything from the plenary session speakers to flamenco dancers to Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona!

The contest ended today at noon PDT, and it is time to announce the winners…
